I have had DSL for many years like many others at home. . .

First there was IBS from NJ. . .5 static ips, sdsl 384k. . .but never 
used more than one ip, since i was working all the time (at work) and 
went through a period in the dotcom era when i didn't even have an 
operational computer at home. . .I doubt I'm unique for that time. . .I 
lived at work, and sometimes slept at home.  My firm at the time had 
brought IBS public. . .

IBS sold its dialup accounts to Earthlink, and dropped its dsl. . .So I 
attempted to do Earthlink.  I think that's around 2000.  Verizon told 
Earthlink I'm too far from the co, which is ironic, since in my younger 
days I could probably hit the co with a rock.

Next day I got a dsl sales call from Verizon. . .and have been a 
miserable adsl basic package customer ever since.  For the first few 
years, my line was down at least 3 weeks each year.  Infamously bad 
copper in my neighborhood.

No major problems for the past year. . .but now I also have the local 
foreman's cell phone number.  <g>

I may look at Cyberonic. . .which does 1.6 down and 768k up with a 
static ip for $39 a mo. . .$10 more I think for 5 more static ips.

Bad service on the phone, I've heard, but generally no problems.

Then again, I may stick to my mindnumming Verizon as well.
